How much do Americans pay in taxes?

Over the past several days a lot of our listeners have wanted to talk about what Americans pay in taxes. They especially want to know if any income group pays no taxes and whether some people are undertaxed or overtaxed (compared to the rest of the country and rest of the world). We spoke with Rebecca Wilkins who is a Senior Counsel for Federal Tax Policy at Citizens for Tax Justice
in Washington, DC. Citizen's for Tax Justice studies tax policies and how they affect Americans.
